Please tell me why are they (first airtel and now reliance) even looking at MTN, for:
They operate in countries which are hostile and politically sensitive
They have lost it when they ask for their buyers to become their subsidiary
They are government-owned and black-betterment funds… as much good as they are doing, the problem is any far-reaching [...]

One heck of an eventful race from start to finish. And as a first, I saw a race being timed out. Major takeaways from the race:
Monaco is not a circuit for the faint hearted and with rain, even for the iron-hearted will have a hard time
Force India have realised that engine is a thing that [...]

I am sorry I even went to watch this movie… Movies are about story telling which is an art. And the makers of this movie have not learnt that art. The story is inconsistent, is more about other people than the person it’s named about. Just too many songs and storylines. Finally, the movie swings [...]

The latest round of romours suggest that Euro-Disney outside Paris may host the French GP starting 2010. Gives everything Eccelstone wanted from the French GP: Glamour, Distance and all the elements of Fun. And you can have ‘Lighting McQueen’ - McLaren showdown. And what would they call it… FIA and 10 flying cars?

Really don’t know what to say but as of now, a few more films on that money-saving list of mine:
Khusboo - B grade movie
Hastey Hastey - Good songs but really lacks that appeal
Dhoom Dhadaaka - Cheap Comedy
Zindagi tere naam - Why?
That’s it as of now!

Just heard the new song from Aamir. It more of a sufi qawali than an song. Has really soft undertones and makes you want to hear it again and again. Really, the music you want to listen in those few peaceful moments in life.

I really fail to understand as to how long this drama over British GP will continue. Why can’t the BRDC and Eccelstone close the damn thing once and for all. As much as the facilities at Silverstone may suck, the matter of the fact is with Abu Dhabi joining the calender next year and much [...]

Thursday was the last practice day pre-race weekend. The session gives you a good peak into the setup being run by the teams for this street circuit. The first session belonged to Ferrari and Raikkonen, with just under 1:16 a lap. Hamilton was a close second with 2/10ths of a second behind.
The second practice is [...]

Have heard 2 songs from the movie. Love both of them and both of them are already ‘On the Go!’
Pappu Can’t Dance Saala - Really peppy dance floor number. Catches you from the first time you listen to it
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi - A beautiful written song and given the lyrics, really amazing music and [...]

Saw a couple of trailers from the latest Priyadarshan movie staring Askhay Khanna, Om Puri and Paresh Raval. The comedy looks repetitive and cheap. The story is nothing great or innovative. Songs sound really bad. So, why would I watch this movie? I won’t. Hence on the ‘Wont-Swipe’. Alternatively, Not me or My Baap.
